I basically spent one of my nights off perusing sleekhair for new products to try out since I'm a girl who loves products and all the pretty packing. Anyhow, I came up with a list of the top rated items I had yet to try and on a whim, I purchased a few of them! I am a religious review reader and writer so i appreciate when people take a few moments to reflect on their likes and dislikes as I really use them to guide me in my purchasing. In this case, i find this product was a MISS :( It has a very intense (and to me,unpleasant) odour. It is an oil product and not like a dry oil that readily absorbs into your hair, it is very greasy and a disaster to work with. Additionally, my bottle must be defective because it leaks like a tap! I made the mistake of bringing in my suitcase without a ziploc bag and mild disaster ensued. It stained one of my white shirts, which only leads me to believe that it can stain your clothes if you accidentally forget to wash your hands thoroughly after you get ready! I also didn't find it did any of the miracles other reviewers felt it did. Overall I rate this a D-

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Strong unpleasant odour
Extremely greasy and heavy
Stains clothes

Tried and true

January 31, 2013

I always come back to the Alfaparf line. This serum has a nice clean scent and helps with shine. There are other serums in the Alfaparf line, Diamante (really good but heavy) and the one with the purple cap for dry hair (great for winter) but this one is classic and light. It sort of sinks into hair instead of sitting on top of it.

I've used this product since 2005 and although I've tried other products and oils for comparison, nothing comes close to the quality of Alfaparf's illuminating serum. The shine, softness, pliability, and smoothness without weight or greasy feel it gives to my hair makes this one of a kind. And the scent is mild and nice, not overpowering like some other oils.

This is the best hair product. It's not greasy. It leaves hair shiny and soft. It takes away the frizz and fly-aways. You only need a small amount so the bottle lasts a long time. I have been using this product for years. Love it. Recommend it.

Pros:

Light, non-greasy. Works amazing. Lasts a long time.

Cons:

Nothing

Save your money!!

May 31, 2012

This product arrived in a bashed in box as if someone had just thrown it down and kicked it to the mailbox. I have never had a shipment from Sleekhair arrive like this before. I was willing to forgive the poor shipping if the product was worth it. IT WASN'T!! This product STINKS! It smells like a man's cheap cologne!! I couldn't even take the smell of it on my hands, I had to scrub my hands to get it off. I ended up leaving the entire bottle in a shopping cart outside of Walmart. Good luck to whoever found it. They are welcome to this crap.

Pros:

NOTHING

Cons:

-Stinks
-Horrible packaging, had dents on a dirty box
-Contains ingredients found in much cheaper and much better smelling serums
-Would never recommend this to anyone or purchase again

Best Pre-Heat Treatment Oil for Dry Hair

January 21, 2012

I have very long, thick hair. I often blow dry my hair myself (which usually takes hours); however, this product literally cuts that time in half. I apply after the shower and before I blow-dry and my hair is incredibly shiny and soft. I only use a little! Doesn't feel sticky or overly oily. Amazing product.

Pros:

Light
Non-sticky
I don't have to use a lot of it

Cons:

It doesn't come in a larger size!

My NYC salon introduced me to this Italian hair oil (I know hair oil sounds unglamorous, but that's basically what it is). No one who tosses their hair about in this will ever go without simply because it smells so wonderful.

The woman who cuts my hair always straightens it afterwards and uses the Alfaparf Cristalli Liquidi Illuminating Serum. It's absoloutely awesome! It smells good and leaves your hair shiny and smooth, even after being exposed to the brutal heat of a flat iron.

This is one product that I am re-ordering since I love it so much.

May 18, 2009

I started going to a new stylist a few months ago, and he uses this product on my hair. The first time he used it, I loved it so much that I had to buy it! I have a short, textured style, and this adds both texture and shine.
Following my stylist's directions, I use one or two pumps of Cristalli Liquidi on my wet hair, which adds thickness and texture. I then add a small amount of pomade to my wet hair (I'm currently using D:Fi), and blow it dry. After I've dried and flat-ironed my hair, I use some wax to piece out my hair, and then follow it up (as my last step) with one or two pumps of the Cristalli Liquidi again to add shine and texture.
When you first get it, experiment a bit to make sure that you're using the right amount for your hair type and style. I was worried that using the amount that my stylist recommended would leave my short hair greasy, but it doesn't at all.
While the price is high on this product, it really is worth it. I tend to use a lot of it (3-4 pumps a day), and the smaller .54 oz. bottle has lasted me about four months, which isn't too bad. I'm usually not very loyal to hair products, but this is one product that I am re-ordering since I love it so much.

May 15, 2009

I love this stuff, I bought it after I got a free sample. It smells amazing, really natural and flowery, which is mostly why I bought it. It works kind of like a frizz serum but seems more organic and natural. I usually use it when my hair feels dry after a day or two since I washed it in the winter or dry climates. It does tend to make my hair a little greasy though I don't use it everyday, just when my hair feels kind of dry. Great to smooth down hair after a blow dry too, though it takes out some of the volume.

Absolutely love it! similar to other hair serums on the market, this smooths out the cuticle. i like to use these types of products when wearing ponytails or braids - for shine and to control the strays. this costs a bit more than some of the drugstore brands, but none of them have the intoxicating aroma of jasmine.

It made my hair so gorgeous, soft, and shiny, and smelled wonderful

May 15, 2009

I loved this product when I first used it; it made my hair so gorgeous, soft, and shiny, and smelled wonderful... BUT, after a couple of days of using it, I noticed breakouts on my face where my hair normally brushes my face. I am not at all prone to breakouts in those areas. I think there must be something in the product that was causing the breakouts. I stopped using the product, and they cleared up. I tried it again, just to be sure, and the spots came right back. I was so disappointed because I LOVED how this made my hair look and feel.

I Got This As A Sample And Just Placed An Order For The Full Size. I Have Thick, Fine, Straight, Long Hair. I Blow Dry The Bangs And A Little Bit Of The Front In The Morning But Mostly I Let It Air Dry On My Commute To Work. When I Get There It's Dry But Sometimes A Little Dull And Frizzy. I Put A Few Drops Of This In My Hand, Rub My Hands Together, And Then Stroke It Through My Hair. I Love The Smell And My Hair Looks Nice And Shiny And Straight For The Rest Of The Day.
